This is one of Gugliemli's several methods for the open prediction that he is glad to offer all magicians. It should be noted that this effect does not respect all of the conditions set by Stewart James for his “51 Faces North”. This is a good Impromptu solution. It relies on sleight of hand to reach a 100% successful ending, but Tommaso tried to design the method to hide the “dirty work” and he has included 6 different techniques to hopefully meet the needs/styles of everyone. This method will require some practice before the performer can swiftly and confidently present the effect. ...

This publication is in my opinion among the best books on cards ever written, but it is rarely mentioned or recommended. I am not sure why this is. Perhaps one reason is that Jack Merlin himself has not left a large footprint in the magic literature besides this one publication. He has a published trick in Expert Card Technique and if you read Card College 1 you will have learned the Jack Merlin's Riffle Shuffle. Farelli mentions in his Farell's Card Magic: "I agree with Mr. Jack Merlin that the custom of continually practicing in front of a glass is the cause of the unfortunate habit many magicians have of blinking at the precise moment of performing...

A flash back to 1987 and a "long lost" manuscript, seen by only ten: Jerry Andrus, David Britland, Jeff Busby, Dave Faulkner, David Harkey, Ed Marlo, Dan McArthy, Harvey Rosenthal, Jay Sankey and Mark Trudinger, made it's brief, and only appearance... then, it was gone!

So what is the 5th Corner? It's a splash of ideas and techniques with a single playing card and it's ripped corners. You are both "one ahead" and "two behind" at the SAME TIME. This charming but annoying attribute is what probably led to the stony silence heard by the author in 1987. Can YOU make head-way with this strange and bizarre single-card oddity? Why not give...

A small ebook but what exciting contents! The routine uses just two regular decks of cards. Lewis Ganson on the pages of Magigram wrote,

"This is a really super 'Do as I do' routine. The routine starts in the classic way and then enlarges on the theme; the spectator and performer continuing to match cards from their respective decks until a whole series of apparent coincidences have occurred. The final display of matched cards is both amazing and spectacular."

The effect: A spectator freely selects a card from, say, a red-backed deck and the performer removes a card from a blue-backed deck. When turned...

POSSIBLY THE MOST AMAZING "THINK OF A CARD" METHOD IN YEARS!
You'll use this for the rest of your life. No props, just what appears to be pure mind-reading! A stunningly produced ebook with 3 full routines and amazing bonus contributions!

So, what is Silent Running?

Briefly, it's a "Think Of A Card" concept...

A card is selected and outjogged from a deck which is then put on the table. Now, you bring out a packet of five prediction cards that you show to have all red backs and fronts (all different), saying one of them must be the selection.

You explain that the cards will help you, not to find the right one, but to eliminate the four wrong ones!

After some magical gesture:

• One card gets a cross drawn onto its face.
• The back of a second card turns blue.
• A third card reverses itself.
• A message appears on the back of a fourth card saying: "NOT THIS ONE!".

This ebook is profusely illustrated with many photographs. A compendium of 20 tricks and routines with cards by Aldo Colombini, Jay Francis, Paul Gordon, Jozsef Kovacs, Floyd Shotts, Terwyn Tomos and Nick Trost.

27 card tricks for stand-up, close-up and walk-around. All of these effects were created while listening to baroque music. Aldo collected twenty-seven tricks and routines mostly unpublished before. Some of them appeared in magazines around the world, some in a couple of lecture notes but most never met ink before writing them down for this tome.

1st edition 2008; 26 pages.

The magic in Controlled Miracles is a composite of both skill and subtlety. Subtlety has been invaded to the maximum; skill has been kept at its minimum point. The majority of the effects are with cards. At the back of the ebook you will find a few tricks with coins and cigarettes.

I am sure that we would all agree that it is the EFFECT THAT IS ALL IMPORTANT and that some of the most astounding effects in card magic can be obtained by setting up the cards in a certain order before the performance commences.

Here are five routines of Aldo which depend on set-ups.

• CRAZY POKER: The wildest Poker demonstration ever.
• KNOCK-OUT SPELL: Spelling procedures reveal incredible coincidences.
• ROYAL CUTS: The four Kings and the four Aces are produced in a surprising manner.
• JUNGLE JAM: A spectator cuts off a portion of a deck. The next two cards are dealt face up and their...

Here's a collection of incredible impromptu card magic compiled by Aldo Colombini. Card magic at it's best performed, anytime, anyplace, anywhere with just a regular deck of cards, no set-up whatsoever and very easy to do. Contributors: Ian Adair, Gene Castillon, Aldo Colombini, Tom Craven, Tom Daugherty, Peter Duffie, Karl Fulves, Stephen D. Gervais, Paul Gordon, J. K. Hartman, Marty Kane, Ryan Matney, Max Maven, Joe Riding, Mike Rogers, John T. Sheets, Nick Trost, Richard Vollmer, Roy Walton, Andrew Wimhurst. 35 tricks in all.

1st edition 2007; 22 pages....

This is Andrew's handling of Roy Walton’s “The Collectors” plot. If you are familiar with his original plot, here, the magic moment takes place in the card case and it has served Andrew well over the years. He developed this handling while he was playing a number of “The Collectors” effects during the afternoon in the year of 2006.

Effect: The performer places three Kings in the card case. The performer then proceeds to have two spectators to freely choose two cards from the deck. The two selections are signed and lost in the deck. The performer waves his hand over the card case...

Spectator Cuts the Aces with a truly different twist. It's very easy to do and highly entertaining...The four kings magically assemble to a single pile only to transform into four separate spectator selections!

"This is an excellent trick! One of your best yet!" - Peter Duffie

"I like 'Divide & Conjure' very much because it is easy and direct to the point; these are the effects that I favor. Keep up the good work!" - Aldo Colombini

"Andrew has another clever e-trick that is very, very good and easy to do." - Cameron Francis
